Agony and Eggplants

This week on a very special episode of Secretly Timid, despite being Jonless, Otieno & Sara are back and we acquire two other delightful guests with whom we discuss Texans saying something when they see something, the non-revelation that video games contain misogyny, and that Batman is a useless power fantasy.  Oh and apparently we have no idea how to operate our recording software, so yay editing?

Digging For Peanuts

This week on a very special episode of Secretly Timid, we remain Sarahless but she sent us a comforting care package.  This comes in handy when Megan discusses how the government doesn’t care about your student loan debit and Otieno suggests there’s a concerted attempt to overwhelm the progressive US electorate with garbage data.  But hey, vote Blue ya’ll.  Seriously.  For now.

Face Down

This week on a very special episode of Secretly Timid, we almost make it through the entire episode without talking over each other.  Also, Megan plumbs the depths of the uncanny valley, Otieno has more bad news, Jon’s fight or flight instinct is set to “denial”, and Sara finds an imaginary fetus graveyard.  Oh, and presents!

P.S.  Otieno said he will modify future tellings of that terrible joke to include a strap because he remembered that all worker ants are female.
